MBF shutters: integrated ventilation and natural lighting for maximum energy efficiency
2-in-1 solution for industrial projects that seek efficient ventilation and natural lighting.
What are theMBF shutters
The MBF line from Grupo MB is a consolidated natural ventilation solution, developed to serve industrial projects that seek efficiency with excellent cost-benefit.
Made from PVC and polycarbonate (honeycomb or compact), MBF stands out for its integration between ventilation and natural lighting, acting as a 2-in-1 solution. With light transmission of up to 40%, it directly contributes to reducing the use of artificial lighting throughout the day, generating gains in energy efficiency.
Its design with fixed fins guarantees continuous air entry, promoting passive ventilation and with low maintenance requirements. Furthermore, it is a lightweight solution, easy to install and with good sealing against infiltration.
Unlike more robust lines, such as Advanced, MBF is manufactured without forming, making it ideal for applications that prioritize constructive simplicity, speed of installation and economic viability.
The solution also allows the inclusion of protective screens (mosquito or bird screens), increasing safety and suitability for the industrial environment.

What does this meanin practice
More than ventilation: operational efficiency with natural light input
MBF works directly on two fundamental pillars of industrial efficiency:
- Constant natural air flow in environments
- Reduced need for artificial lighting
In practice, this means that the environment operates with lower thermal load and lower energy consumption, without relying exclusively on mechanical systems.
Furthermore, the entry of natural light improves internal visibility and contributes to a more productive and comfortable environment for employees.
Passive ventilation natural lightingworking together
The functioning of the MBF is based on two complementary mechanisms:
Continuous natural ventilation
The fixed fins allow the constant entry of external air, promoting continuous ventilation of the environment.
This flow contributes to:
- dissipation of accumulated heat
- reduction of thermal sensation
- improvement of air quality
Natural light entry
The use of polycarbonate allows natural light to pass into the room, reducing the need for artificial lighting throughout the day.
This directly impacts:
- energy consumption
- visual comfort
- operational efficiency
Simple solutions to problems that directly impactthe operating cost
Dark environments during the day
The lack of natural light increases the use of artificial lighting and increases energy consumption.
Lack of adequate ventilation
Closed environments accumulate heat and compromise thermal comfort.
High cost of electricity
Without passive solutions, energy consumption tends to be higher.
Spread of respiratory diseases
Ventilation allows employees not to be exposed to the same saturated air for long hours.
Affordable efficiency,that directly impacts the operation
Reduction of electrical energy consumption
Improving the natural ventilation of the environment
Increased productivity
Low maintenance requirements
Excellent value for money
